I have AT&T UNIX System V/386 (3.2.2) and am attempting to get it to
work with an HPLaserjet II with a postscript cartridge. I've tried to configure
the printer through FACE but it only lets me select the "HPLaserjet". I know
that there is a "ps" and a "postscript" file under the "/usr/lib/terminfo/p"
directory - but I am unsure how to set them up, along with the HPLaserjet
type of printer. I tried using the "lpadmin" command to specify a printer
of type "HPLaserjet" and then use the "-I" command to specify the content
type as "postscript". The manuals are *completely* worthless and don't
give me any real information. Every time I try to send a file to "lp", the
display on the laserjet simply shows the file being loaded (the file size
in "K" increases) and then the "form feed" light flashes, and the file never
prints.
Is there anyone out here who can help me out??? This is driving me
nuts........
P.S. Echoing a "showpage" to the printer works, it spits a blank page out, so
I assume the postscript cartridge is O.K. Also, the Laserjet prints text
just fine under UNIX with the postscript cartridge removed..............
